Sonnet: Years, Three

Shakespearean

And when I needed light you set your-cell

Aflame. Against my will; I torture you 

For peace. I say, Tranquility is hell.

For no two souls can rest at once in lieu.

We stroll in rain to meet again, but why?

A likeness crossing over us; a sound

That’s so harmonious; the dragonfly

The smell of rich tomato sauce; we’re found

When stretched apart our time is wrung  

That’s when we know our love is strong

 And so just like a string of steel that’s strung

With strain comes agony; sweet’st song

For those that love that’s made with ease for now

Has not made love from under sweat from brow

Beautiful.. I love Shakespeare and someone who can write in his iambic pentameter is truly gifted :)

Oh, thank you very much but it's not a lot of trouble as you might think. It just takes a bit of practice to get into the rhythm. I know you could do it. Anyone can. =] I'm more impressed by my fragmented experimental sonnet. Sonnets are lovely. =]
